There’s a scene in Kingsman: The Secret Service (why the subtitle? It’s dumb) in which Colin Firth, as dapper gentleman spy Harry and Samuel L. Jackson as megalomaniac Valentine, talk about their love of old spy movies, bemoaning that modern spy thrillers have “grown too serious”. Full Story

Prince Harry was at the RFU Injured Players Foundation London Marathon Runners Day yesterday and the premiere of Guillemot in Nottingham today. Maybe it's because I went to private school but I've always loved the look of a collared shirt under a v-neck sweater. How come a royal makes it look that much better? Jacek refuses to do this because he is an ass for style. Full Story

The redband trailer for the upcoming Kingsman: The Secret Service has been released. Colin Firth plays a Bond type. He recruits and trains a new member of the Secret Service – a punk kid who looks like he could have been in Skins. It’s a comedy.
And … I’m into it. SO into it. Full Story

Jude Law, who is expecting his fifth child with ex-girlfriend Catherine Harding, was seen on set in Manchester this weekend with Colin Firth, working on a new film called Genius. He should keep this lace-front wig. I’m writing this while Jordana, Key Hair on The SocialFull Story

If I can remember, and I’m motivated enough, I want to do an LBD-off, like a tournament to rank the best black dresses of the year. This one on Emma Stone has to be part of it.
Gorgeous.
Chloe.
And normally I don’t like the overlay thing. The difference here is that it’s not just sheer. Full Story

Not my words. That’s from The Telegraph’s review of Before I Go To Sleep, the new film starring Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth. They walked the carpet together last night to promote it in London. The Telegraph’s film critic gave the movie only 2 stars and, at the end, made the following comment:
“Blunt-force trauma, memory loss, and those Grace of Monaco reviews? Talk about an annus horribilis for Nicole. Full Story

New York premiere of Magic In The Moonlight. Emma Stone showed up with her boyfriend Andrew Garfield. Of course her co-star Colin Firth was there too. Not a bad night, right?
Many people thought Emma and Andrew would split as soon as they were done promoting Spider-Man, especially since…SPOILER ALERT…
Her role in the franchise is done. Full Story

Woody Allen is fascinated by magic. And now, apparently, Emma Stone. Because he’s cast her in his next movie. But first…
Magic In The Moonlight opens next week. Colin Firth plays a middle-aged man who meets a beautiful, young “seer” (is there any other kind in Woody’s mind?) and tries to prove that she’s full of sh-t but, naturally, ends up falling in love with her. Full Story

Colin Firth was supposed to be the voice of Paddington Bear in the new film due out this fall. That will not be happening anymore. Firth released a statement explaining why:

"After a period of denial we've chosen 'conscious uncoupling.' It's been bittersweet to see this delightful creature take shape and come to the sad realisation that he simply doesn't have my voice. I've had the joy of seeing most of the film and it's going to be quite wonderful. I still feel rather protective of this bear and I'm pestering them all with suggestions for finding a voice worthy of him."

HA.

It was a joke on the internet, of course, the “conscious uncoupling”. But now it’s being played for a joke among her peers, Oscar-winning peers. Read Full Intro

TIME has released its annual list of 100 Most Influential People. The categories are: Titans, Pioneers, Artists, Leaders, Icons. So who’s a Titan?

Beyonce, of course.

To me, what’s been most interesting on this list isn’t necessarily who’s on it but the people who are chosen or have volunteered to write the piece that accompanies the entry. Beyonce’s, for example, was written by Sheryl Sandberg. Pharrell, who is also a Titan, was honoured by Justin Timberlake – who did it last year for Jimmy Fallon and made it all about himself (click here for a refresher). JT managed to restrain his ego this time.

I mean...
I don't think there's anyone better in a suit. No one. And you can't accuse me of age-ism either because he's not 24, which is how old I normally perv them but then again, at 24, it's never done this well.
Colin Firth has been in New York promoting The Railway Man. Full Story

Never.
But I do love the comments he made last night at the premiere of The Railway Man in London. It’s the true story of Eric Lomax who was captured during the Second World War, tortured, and made to work on Thai-Burma railway. Many years later he decided to confront his tormentor. Lomax is survived by his wife Patti who praisedFull Story

Andrew Garfield showed up in costume at Comic-Con – click here if you missed Sarah’s recap earlier today—and then flew straight to the South of France to see his girlfriend Emma Stone where she’s working on Woody Allen’s new movie with Colin Firth. Full Story

Stop what you’re doing right now. Because Colin Firth was in Cannes. Looking better than he has in a long time.
Here he is being beautiful at a couple of Chopard events yesterday. Livia, his wife, is there too.
Colin’s kept a relatively low profile for the last couple of years but he’s recently been confirmed to star in Woody Allen’s latest, with Emma Stone, and also in Matthew Vaughn’s The Secret Service, described as a comic book Bond. Full Story
